7MS #381: DIY $500 Pentesting Lab Deployment Tips

For Windows VMs

  • Take a snapshot right after the OS is installed, as (I believe) the countdown timer for Windows evaluation mode starts upon first "real" boot.
  • Want to quickly run Windows updates on a fresh Win VM? Try this (here's the source):
powershell Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force powershell Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate -force powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass powershell Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate powershell Get-WindowsUpdate powershell Install-WindowsUpdates -AcceptAll -AutoReboot
  • To turn on remote desktop:
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0
  • To set the firewall to allow RDP:
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Desktop"
  • To stop the freakin' Windows hosts from going to sleep:
powercfg.exe -change -standby-timeout-ac 0
  • To automate the install of VMWare tools, grab the package from VMWare's site, decompress it, then:
setup64.exe /s /v "/qn reboot=r"
  • To set the time zone via command line, run tzutil /l and then you can set your desired zone with something like tzutil /s "Central Standard Time"

For Linux VMs

  • Get SSH keys regenerated and install/run openssh server:
apt install openssh-server -y mkdir /etc/ssh/default_keys mv /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* /etc/ssh/default_keys/ dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server systemctl enable ssh.service systemctl start ssh.service

7MS #644: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 64

Hey!  I’m speaking in Wanatchee, Washington next week at the NCESD conference about 7 ways to panic a pentester!  Today’s tale of pentest pwnage is a great reminder to enumerate, enumerate, enumerate!  It also emphases that cracking NETLM/NETNTLMv1 isn’t super easy to remember the steps for (at least for me) but this crack.sh article makes it a bit easier!

Today we’re revisiting the fun world of automating pentest dropboxes using Proxmox, Ansible, Cursor and Level.  Plus, a tease about how all this talk about automation is getting us excited for a long-term project: creating a free/community edition of Light Pentest LITE training!

7MS #640: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 63

This was my favorite pentest tale of pwnage to date!  There’s a lot to cover in this episode so I’m going to try and bullet out the TLDR version here: Sprinkled farmer files around the environment Found high-priv boxes with WebClient enabled Added “ghost” machine to the Active Directory (we’ll call it GHOSTY) RBCD attack to be able to impersonate a domain admin using the CIFS/SMB service against the victim system where some higher-priv users were sitting Use net.py to add myself to local admin on the victim host Find a vulnerable service to hijack and have run an evil, TGT-gathering Rubeus.exe – found that Credential Guard was cramping my style! Pulled the TGT from a host not protected with Credential Guard Figured out the stolen user’s account has some “write” privileges to a domain controller Use rbcd.py to delegate from GHOSTY and to the domain controller Request a TGT for GHOSTY Use getST.py to impersonate CIFS using a domain admin account on the domain controller (important thing here was to specify the DC by its FQDN, not just hostname) Final move: use the domain admin ccache file to leverage net.py and add myself to the Active Directory Administrators group

7MS #638: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 61

Today we’re talking pentesting – specifically some mini gems that can help you escalate local/domain/SQL privileges: Check the C: drive! If you get local admin and the system itself looks boring, check root of C – might have some interesting scripts or folders with tools that have creds in them. Also look at Look at Get-ScheduledTasks Find ids and passwords easily in Snaffler output with this Snaffler cleaner script There’s a ton of gold to (potentially) be found in SQL servers – check out my notes on using PowerUpSQL to find misconfigs and agent jobs you might able to abuse!
